Lips and mouth sores

[cooperjack 5]

I was sleeved on June 4th. Boy, they really don't warn you about all the possible little side effects. After surviving gas pains that felt like I was being stabbed and an allergic reaction to the surgical glue which caused all my incisions to blister, I thought I was finally coming out of the woods. But now my new issue is that my lips and sometimes my mouth, are covered with these invisible but painful sores/bumps. They seem to come out mostly after I eat anything. They look like hives. Has anyone experienced anything like this after surgery. It started when I was about 2 weeks post-op and is not getting better. I'm taking all my Vitamins and I'm wondering if it's an allergic reaction to them. Someone mentioned it might be a Vitamin deficiencybut how could that be when I am taking all the vitamins. I'm not using anything new and I'm eating very bland foods, mostly cottage cheese, yogurt and egg beaters. Any ideas?

It "could be" an allergic reaction but that likely would not be only in your mouth? Dehydration can cause those symptoms. You need to call your surgeon's office for the best advice. Good luck!

I can't offer any advice other than see your GP as soon as you can. I hope its resolved and you feel better soon!

Water, Water and more water. Also try adding some L-Lysine to your Vitamins. Pre-sleeve, you were most likely getting enough from red meat. The pills are huge so you will have to crush them. They also sell lip balm that has it.
